Research Abstract |
DNA is always damaged by exogenous and endogenous factors, but all living organisms have repair systems for damaged DNA. We intended to develop sensors(or technically known as probes) to detect and analyze DNA repair reactions by fluorescence, and synthesized fluorescent probes that would be used for the reactions of base-excision-repair enzymes with oxidatively-damaged DNA. Using these probes, the substrate specificities of the repair enzymes were analyzed in vitro, and the cellular repair reactions were successfully visualized.
